Slipping??

Have stayed here several times, but things have slipped last two stays. This last stay I had a room that had been smoked in by prior guests. There was a strong cigar/cigarette smell in the room. Hopefully thingss will get back on track.

Hotel needs a redo

The hotel room was not clean there was roaches in the bathroom and on the table in the room where u can eat at. Overall the stay was ok. The hotel is not what it says to be. I will never stay here again. If I have to rate my stay it will be a 2.
Noel, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Not that great

Looked like a drug exchange outside when my family and I walked in. It was weird. Very unprofessional the guy that I first encountered couldn’t help me had to call his mom. Had to wait for her to come check me in. She was nice but it’s weird. I didn’t even feel safe in the room tbh and was scared to leave my car outside.
Esmeralda, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

It was not a great experience. When I checked in late at midnight it reeked of cigarettes in the lobby, the room was very outdated, no air vent in the bathroom, no body wash in the dispenser, towels had hairs on them, bed was lumpy and housekeeping knocks on your door in the morning asking if you need anything. I would not recommend this hotel to a family member or friend.

6/10 Good

Front desk busy checking her phone during the checking in, making mistakes. Very unprofessional !!!

6/10 Good

It was aight…

They stay was good, but I do have a few complaints. The hot water was not hot, the cold air was not cold (68 degrees and it was still warm), I had two roaches in my room and there was an odor. Front desk staff was really welcoming and friendly.
Destiny, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The room was spacious and clean. The door was very difficult to close and lock. We were awakened at 5am by the loud talking of the breakfast staff. At checkout, the front desk agent was sound asleep on the front desk. Without being acknowledged, I simply left the keys on the desk and walked away.
1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The sheets had white stains on them, there was no soaps in the bathroom, the sink knob was broken, hair was in the bed, floors were sticky, hand prints on the wall, smelled like an old cigarette, and it was people knocking on the walls all hours of the night
Holly, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Met some cool people, third floor had a lot of messed up rooms. No ice machines. No laundry room. No gym. Elevator was scary. There was no sign on building or by the room. Pool was extremely dirty
2-night trip

6/10 Good

Cross check with the Property for additional fees.

Not the best but not the worst. Minor issue became a bigger issue (had to change rooms due to toilet not working) and they told me I overlooked that a $100 deposit fee was required even though the room was paid for in advance. It is supposed to be refunded in 3 days. I will do a better job of following up with the actual property. Bed was comfortable but walls are thin.
